In case I don't spend all day at work surrounded by cake, I now get to come home from work to post in a thread about work, hear about everyone else's work, and now be offered cake.

Looks nice. Checkout design looks nice.
I was at a Woolworths store in the city today (right next to BigW), the checkout layout was a tiny bit different, but the front is squished, then the store size increases when in the aisles

- I have not been in many Safeway/Woolworths stores, so I had to go in and buy something hehe. It's strange cause the middle section of the aisles are were the aisles end in our store (which is still a fair size aisle), so the aisles are a little less then half as long compared to my store if that makes sense, not sure if you remember it too well hehe

Yeah I don't remember it that well, sorry! Just that some lady was taking an entire trolley through self serve and the attendant was going insane at her.
Kind of funny

AND OMG THEY HAVE 14 SELF SERVES AND WE HAVE 5!!!!Yeah I don't remember it that well, sorry! Just that some lady was taking an entire trolley through self serve and the attendant was going insane at her.

My fucking god I stood there with my jaw stuck to the ground and my friend was just like "um lol so?".
I think it's hard maintaining 5 by myself on a busy day, but jeeze, seven? It's divided into 7 and 7, with 1 attendant per set (pretty sure it was 1 per 7)

Oh yeah, yesterday I was in a neibhouring suburb, went through a coles checkout and a women was having trouble getting her CC to swipe.
She goes "hmm are you able to just type it in", and the checkout lady goes "yeah well it will ask me to in a minute", and she ended up typing it in.
Why is Coles so freely able to do this but Woolworths has major restrictions about doing it. And she typed it straight into the machine, not into the POS (even though the POS most likely prompted her to type it in or not)

Also, at this Woolworths store I visited today (it's a complete refurbished store even rebranded woolworths), the P.A sounded like it was digital, dont know if you have heard digital transmissions or anything, but it sounded like Big W's P.A
This is only for "Credit" transactions or gift cards, the option appears if the card fails to read after three swipes.
We used to enter it into the screen but now that they've changed the software for the chip cards it has to go into the PinPad itself for some inexplicable reason.

How does it know if it is a credit or giftcard? We just have two options then it runs the EFT applications on our POS
Cash - EFT
pressing eft-sale amount pops up EFT box, you actually select "savings/credit/giftcard" etc from your POS?
Well if you try to push "CHQ" or "SAV" after entering the card number it just says "FUNCTION NOT SUPPORTED" or something like that.
It's weird, since they "upgraded" the firmware, I've had hardly any cards not swipe properly - I don't know how they managed that.
I think its to do with credit card fraud which is why we can't do it anymore.

Yeah, you can blame the not being able to type card numbers in on our store, sorry guys.
A few years back we had people pretending to swipe their own cards, but were in fact entering in card numbers of stolen credit cards. pretty clever really, signatures on the back match, and in those days nobody ever checked the signature slip against the card number.

Re: Woolworths FAQ- how to get a job
all this talk of credit cards reminds me of something i was meant to ask the other day...so ben/yoddle/townie/harry/anyone else help!
gift card management is in citrix, yess? i couldn't find it the other day, there seems to have been a massive interface change since i last used it and i got confused.
